Not Just a Paycheck

Summary How does employment policy and job insecurity affect our health? Residents of western Michigan struggle against depression, domestic violence and an up-tick in heart disease and diabetes when the largest refrigerator factory in the country shuts down. Ironically, the plant is owned by a Swedish company, where shutdowns, far from devastating lives, are relatively benign events for some even an opportunity because of Swedish government policies rooted in an ethos of shared responsibility.
